I am glad to read that “Guyana is on track to end TB by 2030.” This is ‘big’ news. Tuberculosis, or as we say, TB, worldwide, was pushed aside, because of the COVID crisis, which is still not fully over. The statistics show that COVID-19 has in fact reversed progress made in the fight against TB by over a decade. This was the natural result that defaulted from the necessary input and emphasis on the COVID pandemic, and thus, access to essential TB prevention and care services in 2020 was severely affected. Overall, globally, in 2020, an estimated 9.9 million people were ill with TB, and an estimated 1.5 million people died from TB, including 214,000 among persons living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
